Special Introduction! Tomorrow morning, Miss Nora Callahan will join our class as a student teacher from Hope College. She is in her final semester of school. Miss Callahan will be with our class for eight weeks, having just completed eight weeks student teaching Spanish at the high school level. She is looking forward to meeting and working with our class. Join me in welcoming her to Rose Park!
Curriculum Tidbits:
- In math, we will continue doing word problems that involve elapsed time and will be practicing reading bar graphs and line plots.
- Matthew 28:1-10 is the Bible memory passage for the month of March. It will be sent home with your child on Monday. We look forward to doing Sing-Move, and Memorize with this passage next week!
- We will begin our social studies unit on the economy of Michigan this week.
- Our class will continue researching the animal they chose and then work on crafting that information into paragraphs this week.
- Third graders will be learning about and illustrating idioms this week.
- Looking for ways to support your child's learning at home? Encourage your child to get in those reading minutes. A few extra minutes practicing multiplication and division facts is also great!
Requested Announcements:
Swimming Lessons: Our Holland Aquatic Center is providing swim lessons for us again this year! I recognize this program is new for some children and families. Because our children are blessed to be raised in Michigan, surrounded by bodies of water, we believe this safety instruction is a blessing that we pray they will never need, but feel responsible to equip them. If you find yourself pondering over the “why” of lessons, please take a listen to HC mom Jenny White on the why for swim safety. HCAC Swim School welcome video will help you understand a bit about the logistics. Our 1st-4th graders will be bused to the pool each day the weeks of April 14-25.
